I watched the geese As in low loud honking vee’s They traveled across a sky Unmarked by vapor trails Vacant, but for the geese And a few stray mares tails Normalcy in an abnormal way They heeded the call to migrate and move Oblivious to the struggles man creates I thought about these times The terrors viewed by millions as they unfolded Imbedded now forever in psyche and soul And knew that the geese would continue to fly We would continue to try and make sense Out of all we had seen All we had felt And that the seasons would change Babies would be born People would fall in love Couples would break up All would go on Still My heart bled a few tears And I fought a few fears As the geese in low loud honking Vee’s Marked movement of time |

perhaps it is just me, but the symbolism of your V means much.... and we shall write, and continue to pen, until normalcy comes to visit again.... |

it goes on...somehow that's both threatening and reassuring to me at the same time...but this was a wonderful respite for me this morning...You got a cabin for rent somewhere? and? Poetry like this cures migraines.  |

Such wonderful imagery, this is a truly beutiful poem, if we look at a V, and consider it the hands of a clock, the time would be about 10 minuits past 10 . Wow, whenever I see geese flying in a V I shall think of time ever moving on . Thanks, lovely read . L.of.L. Tom .

CPatHair~ 'I thought about these times The terrors viewed by millions as they unfolded Imbedded now forever in psyche and soul And knew that the geese would continue to fly We would continue to try and make sense Out of all we had seen All we had felt' And ... though I've yet to 'make sense' of it~ I yearn to see the geese fly~ This is a touchy-feely write to me~ Thanks for sharing~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Capt--and I have heard the seagulls cry into the oceans roar, the tide come in and out, and time in my mind and heart begins to move on. Thank you for this healing write! |

It's almost scary how the world keeps moving, when it feels as if it really should stop. This is an excellent way to remember those tragic events. ~Krissie "No one has ever loved |

this time of year I seem to be drawn to the geese when they are passing over, searching for a pond nearby to land. They are a unique species..I enjoyed your words, as always *s ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

Ever pointing onward. A very difficult task sometimes. That's why it's important for someone else to take the lead...while we breath and cry. If only the destination were the same for us all. Peace. A wonderful reminding vision C. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Regina |
